A peaceful and beautiful 'Black-Winged Stilt along with the breath taking scenery at the Birds of the "Riparian Preserve" in Arizona.
Location: Gilbert, Arizona
The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch provides a great opportunity for bird watching. Close to 300 species of birds have been sighted and people come from different states and countries to see beautiful and sometimes rare birds.
In 1986, the Town of Gilbert made a commitment to reuse 100% of its effluent water. The town's desire to create innovative and unique ways to combine water resource development with wildlife habitat, educational and recreational opportunities led to the development of the Riparian Preserve in 1999.
Of the 110 acres, 70 acres make up the 7 water recharge basins that are filled on a rotating basis with treated effluent and allowed to percolate into aquifer where it is stored for future use. One of the ponds has a unique distribution stream that mimics the action of an ephemeral desert stream. An additional lake is filled with reclaimed water, and is designated as an urban fishing resource through the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

Oh wow, Thank you so much. This is as first a really very nice. What a superb example for all to follow. I should have done this with my first "Fungus Amungus" challenge that I created and plan on doing for the second challenge I started called "Your Best Family Pet Photo". Check it out and maybe you would like to post a photo or two in that photo challenge. And again thank you so much! =)
